Ahead of Hurricane Milton on October 9, 2024, an EF3 tornado formed west of the city and tore northeast through Spanish Lakes toward Vero Beach—twenty years after the 2004 hurricanes.

Every Fort Pierce job is engineered to its side of 25th Street—150 mph to the west in Gator Trace and Meadowood, or 160 mph to the east along Indian River Drive and South Beach—with <=45% VLT turtle glass on ocean-facing lites and FEMA 50% Substantial Improvement valuation sheets for Flood Zone AE/VE parcels.

Windows and doors for Fort Pierce homes

In historic Edgartown and along Boston Avenue, homes often require colonial muntin grids and proportion-matched single-hung or casement profiles that satisfy Fort Pierce Historic Preservation guidelines. In Maravilla and Lawnwood, 1950s–1970s CBS ranch homes replace jalousie and single-pane windows with Low-E laminated single-hungs and horizontal rollers, while South Beach barrier-island condos install Exposure D sliders with 316 stainless steel hardware.

Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.
